A Silver Fern memorial in Israel for New Zealand soldiers who fought in WW1.

Nationwide

Do you have family that served in WW1? We need your help and anyone else who feels moved.

We are erecting a memorial, to replace the one that has decayed over time, in Israel where the battle of Ayun Kara took place. This is to commemorate the 18,000 New Zealanders who served in the Mounted Rifle Brigade.

This was a significant battle for NZ, and while it was deemed a success there was still loss of 53 New Zealand soldiers and injury to many others.

Please watch the video below for the full story.
